About This Worksheet

This medium-level worksheet contains 22 problems designed for 12th Grade students practicing one-sided limits. Medium worksheets introduce larger numbers and varied question formats to deepen understanding and build fluency.

Manipulate algebraic expressions and understand functions, limits and derivative notation.

  • Evaluate limits with the approach direction stated and distinguish limits from function values.
  • Check your result using the method in the example before moving to the next question.

How to Solve: Worked Example

Example Problem: f(x) = 7 when x < 4, and f(x) = 11 when x ≥ 4. Find the limit as x approaches 4 from the left.
Solution Steps:
  1. Use the branch on the requested side of the boundary.
  2. A one-sided limit need not equal the limit from the other side.
Answer: 7
Tip: Check your result using the method in the example before moving to the next question.
